Re: Machine Finds Thread (add your own!)

Tonight while checking out at the grocery store I noticed that they moved the green machine on the left side of the exit. It used to be at a corner that you have to walk up to it. It would look funny without a bag of coins. So I told myself that I'd better take a peek when I was walking out. I always hope to find a steel cent because I never be able find one from the box. When I got there I did notice a coin in the reject tray. I picked it up and look at it briefly. My heart almost skipped a beat. It is a seated dime! This one has enough details that it goes into my US type album.

I definitely will check the tray every time when I buy grocery from now on.

Found a "homeless stash" today. My usual quick look at the green machine looked uneventful, just a couple of abandoned bags on the ledge. I moved them and found a pile of badly corroded zincolns beneath. I quickly gathered them up.

Looking thru them yielded some interesting finds:

107 ugly, gray zincolns that will probably end up in the garbage. Some weighed as little as 1.3 grams, almost half what they should. One actually broke in half!
